1Tedae Rakhel loh Jakob ham ca cun pawh tila a hmuh vaengah Rakhel te a maya taengah thatlai. Te dongah Jakob la, “Kai he capa m'pae lah, te pawt koinih ka duek ni,” a ti nah.
1When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
2Te dongah Jakob kah a thintoek te Rakhel taengah sai tih, “Kai he nang bung kah a thaih aka hloh Pathen yueng la ka om a?,” a ti nah.
2Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
3Tedae, “Ka taengom Bilhah taengah kun mai saw he. Te daengah ni ka khuklu ah ca han sak vetih anih lamloh kai khaw ka thoh eh?,” a ti nah.
3Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
4Te dongah a taengom Bilhah te a yuu la a paek tih Jakob loh anih taengah ip.
4So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
5Bilhah khaw pumrhih tih Jakob ham ca a cun pah.
5and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
6Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen loh kai n'yan cakhaw ka ol te a yaak bal tih kai he ca tongpa m'paek coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Dan a sui.
6Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih Rakhel kah taengom Bilhah loh Jakob ham capa pabae te a cun pah.
7And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen kah rhaknah dongah ka maya te ka hnueih tih ka na coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Naphtali a sui.
8Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9Tedae Leah loh ca cun ham bawt coeng tila a hmuh dongah a taengom Zilpah te a khuen tih Jakob taengah a yuu la a paek.
9When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10Te dongah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa a cun pah.
10And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11Te vaengah Leah loh, “Yoekam loh a loh,” a ti dongah anih ming te Gad a sui.
11Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12Te phoeiah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa pabae a cun pah hatah,
12When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
13Leah loh, “Kai bahoeng ka omngaih, te dongah tanu rhoek loh kai he n'uem uh ni,” a ti tih anih ming te Asher a sak.
13Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
14Cang ah tue vaengah Reuben te a caeh hantah lohma ah hloih a hmuh tih a manu Leah taengla a khuen. Te vaengah Rakhel loh Leah taengah, “Na capa kah hloih te kai hamla khueh mai,” a ti nah.
14Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15Tedae Leah loh anih la, “Ka va te nan rhawt tih rhoeh dae ka ca kah hloih te khaw na lo a ya? a ti nah hatah Rakhel loh, “Then, na capa kah hloih yueng la khoyin ah nang taengla yalh saeh,” a ti nah.
15But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16Te dongah pong lamkah Jakob halo hlaem ah anih aka doe la Leah te cet tih, “Ka capa kah hloih neh nang a paang la kan paang coeng dongah kai taengah na ip ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah khoyin ah anih taengla yalh.
16When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
17Tedae Pathen loh Leah te a yaak dongah pumrhih tih Jakob ham a panga nah capa a cun pah.
17And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18Te vaengah Leah loh, “Ka va taengah kamah taengom ka paek dongah kai khaw Pathen loh thapang m'paek,” a ti tih anih ming te Issakhar a sui.
18Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19Te phoeiah Leah te koep pumrhih tih Jakob ham parhuk nah capa a cun.
19Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20Te vaengah Leah loh, “Pathen loh kai he kutdoe then koep m'paek tih anih ham capa parhuk ka cun pah. Te dongah ka va loh kai n'hmaiben pawn ni,” a ti tih a ming te Zebulun a sui.
20“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
21Te phoeiah a hnuk la canu a cun tih a ming te Dinah a sui.
21After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22Tedae Pathen loh Rakhel te a poek. Te dongah Pathen loh anih ol te a hnatun tih a bung te a ong pah.
22Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
23Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai kah kokhahnah he Pathen loh a coi sak,” a ti.
23and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
24“BOEIPA loh kai ham capa a tloe han thap saeh,” a ti tih anih ming te Joseph a sui.
24She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
25Tedae Rakhel loh Joseph a sak phoeiah tah Jakob loh Laban taengah, “Kai he kamah hmuen la, kamah khohmuen ah pongpa ham n'tueih laeh.
25Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
26Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek te m'pae. Amih ham nang taengah ka thotat tih ka thohtatnah khaw nang ham ni ka thohtat tila na ming coeng dongah ka cet pawn ni,” a ti nah.
26Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
27Tedae anih te Laban loh, “Nang kong ah BOEIPA loh ka yoe han then sak tila ka hmuhming. Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka om atah bet om mai dae,” a ti nah.
27But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
28Te phoeiah, “Kai taengkah na thapang te mingpha sak lamtah kan paek bitni,” a ti nah.
28And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29Te dongah Jakob loh Laban te, “Nang taengah ka thohtat te khaw, na boiva loh kai taengah a om te khaw na ming.
29Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
30Ka mikhmuh ah nang kah a yol ni a om dae a cungkuem te pungtai coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA loh nang te ka kho kung ah yoethen m'paek. Tedae me vaengah lae kai loh ka imkhui ham khaw ka saii coeng?,” a ti nah.
30Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
31Te vaengah, “Nang te balae kan paek eh?,” a ti nah. Jakob loh, “Kai he pakhat khaw m'pae boeh, he ol he kai hamla nan khueh atah, ka mael neh na boiva te ka luem puei vetih ka dawn mai bitni.
31“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
32Tihnin ah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeih te rhikrhak neh a tairhi khaw, tuca khuikah tu pol boeih khaw, maae khuiah a tairhi neh rhikrhak khaw ka khoe saeh lamtah ka thapang la om saeh.
32Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
33Na mikhmuh ah maae khui lamkah a rhikrhak neh a tairhi pawt boeih, tu khui lamkah a pol pawt te ka taengla a huen khaw, thangvuen khohnin kah ka thapang dongah na pai vaengah, kai yueng la ka duengnah thui nawn saeh.
33So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
34Te dongah Laban loh, “Namah olka bangla a om saeh ne,” a ti nah.
34“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
35Te dongah amah khohnin ah maaetal a rhangcam neh a tairhi te khaw, maae nu rhikrhak neh a tairhi boeih te khaw, a soah aka bok boeih neh tuca khuikah aka pol boeih te a khoe tih a capa kut ah a tloeng pah.
35That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
36Te phoeiah hnin thum longcaeh te amah neh Jakob laklo ah hnalak a khueh. Te daengah Jakob loh Laban kah boiva la aka sueng rhoek te a luem sak.
36Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37Tedae Jakob loh amah ham khabok neh yungkha neh hlimbok kah a hlaeng te thingsup la a loh. Te phoeiah a dakda aka bok te a hlih tih cungkui dongah a bok la a tai.
37Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38Te phoeiah thing hlaeng a baeh te tuilong ah khaw, tuisoi tui taengah khaw, tui ok hamla boiva a kun nah ah khaw, boiva hmai ah khaw a khueh pah. Te dongah tui o la a caeh uh vaengah a pacu uh.
38Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39Boiva te cungkui taengah a pacu tih boiva khaw a rhangcam, rhikrhak la thang tih a tairhi pah.
39they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40Te vaengah Jakob loh tuca rhoek te a hoep tih Laban kah boiva khuikah a rhangcam neh aka pol boeih taengla boiva kah a hmai a khueh. Te phoeiah amah loh amah kah tuping te amah la hloep a khueh. Tedae te rhoek te Laban kah boiva taengah khueh pawh.
40Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
41Te phoeiah om tih boiva loh a pa a cuk takuem vaengah a tanglue te tah cungkui taengah a pa a cuk sak ham Jakob loh cungkui te tuilong kah boiva hmuh ah a khueh.
41Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
42Tedae boiva te a rhae ngai atah a khueh pah pawt dongah a rhae rhoek te Laban ham om tih a tanglue te Jakob ham vik om.
42But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
43Te dongah tekah hlang tah lut lut boei tih anih taengah boiva khaw, taengom neh sal khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw muep om.
43Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
